September 5-11, 2002 musicpicks AerosmithIf you're livin' on the edge -- a cavernous world between VH1 and M2, O,Yeah! Ultimate Aerosmith Hits (Columbia) is for you. And Aerosmith's live show -- with its scarves, guitar heroism, Lolita-esque joshing from a man old enough to be ... Liv Tyler's father -- is also for you. The Just Push Play tour is a showcase of Aero-pals then (the recently insane Run-D.M.C., getting paid back for "Walk This Way") and now (Southern beer flack Kid Rock). It's lifestyle metal for just-pre-menopausal rawk-out women who find Jagger too old yet Tyler too sexy for his lack-of-shirt-buttons. For younger girls: Tyler's a better older-man fantasy than Woody Allen. Expect lot of purposefully pouty lips staring back at Tyler while he croons "Dream On." Joe Perry's metal-muzak represents over 30 years of raunch that, when unslickened, could wake Johnny Thunders from his heavy horse-headed sleep. It's admittedly (by them) entertainment (as opposed to art), an addictive "Same Old Song and Dance" that manages to make blues bluster, Delta crustiness and Yardbirdsian Rave-Up-ness seem shiny, swaggering and new. Ultimately, Aerosmith's a reliable powerhouse of winding sexy melody and big rock. Besides, it's still a cheaper ticket than the Stones. Sat., Sept. 7, 7 p.m., $34.50-$75, with Kid Rock, Run DMC and Quetzal, Tweeter Center, 1 Harbour Blvd., Camden, N.J., 215-336-2000.
